I have lived here 2 years now. I brewed once right after we moved in. (disaster_brew)
Too many distractions for time.
At last things have lightened up on the home repair etc.. front I have some spare time.
In my other thread I mention the old time brewing methods.
Pondering that made me realize that I have not brewed the modern way in a long time.
So have began to clean out, fire up etc. my equipment.
Everything is now cleaned, ran through a hot water cycle etc...
I have the fermentation room chilling a test bucket of water as we speak to verify it is still up to the task.
If all goes well, I brew this Saturday.
I plan to use cold pool water for the cooling power which works awesome this time of year for me.
I have a keggle to boil in and a wheel less ice cube to mash in (using a 18 ss braid) another 15 gallon ss pot with valve and propane and propane products.
(other bastage gasses are available at this house)

I have a crap load of hops that have been vacuum bagged in my freezer at -12 F since 2012? Too old to even mess with?
